market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy with mike's cancer a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines. is a report. that just shows a horrible welcome this is our team come to life from the russian capital with twenty four hours a day top stories this hour our casualties rise in libya by the turkish humanitarian ship taking hundreds of injured from the fighting in the west to the rebel stronghold meantime colonel gadhafi is desperately searching for a way out of the crisis point and he joins a list of countries to recognize libya's rebels as the legitimate government. a russian pilot brought to the u.s. to face trial of drug trafficking charges claims he was kidnapped by washington

some say there's no barring tendency of america snatching people in order to try them on its own soil. and three space going to set to fly up to the international space station from the baikonur cosmodrome in kazakhstan the launch takes place almost exactly fifty years after you could get in became the first man to go beyond satisfied. well if he spoke with the head of the russian space agency about the country's space program and the importance of the soyuz spacecraft and the totally said with the u.s. shuttle program and the this year russian ships i'm more than ready to feel liberated that's next. the baronet thank you very much for being with us today space tourists used to be

one of the sources of income for the russian space agency are you trying to raise you or maybe even expand this program. of course we would like to resume this program unfortunately we are unable to do it now and we won't be until space shuttles resume delivering space crews to the i assess which won't happen before twenty fifteen or even twenty seventeen according to nasa experts the only other possibility is if we build a new spacecraft within the next two years and then we'll be able to take space tourists to the i.r.s. . of course everybody wants to know how much that's going to cost and if you already have some people who want to go through or. we have many people who want to go many obligations from various countries as well as official requests and applications from common people well i guess you can't really call somebody a common person if they can pay more than fifty million dollars for a flight because that's approximately the amount that space tourists will have to

pay the price has gone up a little due to currency rate fell to asians into the rising cost of materials. do you think one day space tourism may become available to all people. definitely when we first started sending tourists to outer space we straightaway noticed that they felt quite well jerry short flights all you need is to be a normal healthy person some of the tourists were over sixty and they felt quite well so i think that space tourism will continue and develop and the only concern i have is that nobody should ignore safety measures safety regulations for space tourists should be. as for regular nasa we're all schools most space programs work . that's the way that's not a bit about the march five hundred protract how important is it for preparing long term space experiments. of course it's important that's the second time we're conducting such an experiment there was a similar project in the soviet union the current project is international if i

could leading space agencies like the european space agency i was china take part in it indicates how important this project is after specific results will have to wait for the project to be completed this nature of the experiment is mostly psychological we want to see if a big group can stay together for a long period of time and still perform their duties. now if you have any major international programs besides the s.s. today. you mean in russia yes yes of course we have cooperation agreements with forty countries of course with some of them we don't have any serious joint projects even though we have an agreement but in some cases we have very big projects we actively work with china on many programs we also work with the indian exploration carrier rocket programs and some other issues like a blown us navigate and system as you may know we also work with japan a lot in europe france and germany our biggest partners also we have

a few joint projects with italy of course in terms of finance all these programs are inferior to the i.r.s. project their significance for science for the future is great some of these are really important also we've recently started working with the newly established u.k. space agency and we're developing our cooperation with canada. within the c.i.s. i should mention kazakhstan ukraine because we have joint projects with ukraine in virtually every area and bedrooms why don't you talks about creating a system of systems what does that mean does it mean that we should establish cooperation with. what i meant was a security system a warning system it's called the international global aerospace monitoring system it's official now as twenty three countries have joined this project you see different countries in gauged in space exploration have different data depending on

what kind of satellites they use for remote sensing and meteorological research we suggest that countries should send their data to data processing centers which could be located in various continents north america south america africa asia and europe these data processing centers will produce recommendations for world leaders based on the data they receive there also countries that are small and poor they don't have their own spacecraft satellites and so on i pad same time these are the countries that are often hit by floods and earthquakes say indonesia in fact other nations can also benefit from those reports. computer centers will process all the data distributed to all the countries in the form of risk warnings saying for example that an earthquake hazard will be high in several places around the globe in the next two weeks so mankind will be ready for an earthquake another warning may concern some distant galaxy because there is a possibility that the stars concentrated in it will produce an impact on earth or

that an asteroid is going to approach the earth in four years time it will pass into the kilometers from the earth well that would be a really serious threat that we kind of data that governments need rather than just a lemon tree from a spacecraft which is of no use to them they wouldn't even know how to decode it so we suggested creating this global monitoring system and twenty three countries have already joined a project which i've been appointed head of what was it your idea to set up such a system. for the idea came from russian researchers at the moment china is not seriously considering joining this project i don't like to use the word saving mankind but we do need such a system to warn us about potential threats actually this isn't won't get out expensive all that members have to do is to share the data they have tamed from their national space system perhaps there will be a small membership fee to help maintain the system but every time i talk to somebody and explain why we need such a system everybody supports the idea. we

actually start. we don't have a timeframe yet because first we need to complete all formalities and obtain permission from governments to start building those data processing centers in all the continents. because the construction of the past what's going on. recently the russian government had a special meeting chaired by prime minister vladimir putin which decided that in a month's time the ministry of economic development should submit a program for the construction of infrastructure was not steep and that the russian space agency should set up its office up a cosmodrome everything should be ready in a month so we monitor the situation and work together with the ministry of economic development on these issues the construction of infrastructure will start in june. as well what will happen to baikonur cosmodrome in kazakstan after russia and its own cosmodrome. nothing special why can or will continue functioning because it

will be impossible to abandon it even after the first launch from. that's not the way things are done in the space industry we won't stop operating the soyuz spacecraft but we are going to use another carrier rocket at first but while flight test will be held there we will have to continue launching spacecraft from baikonur so you spacecraft will also carry various satellites including commercial ones like global star etc we're going to operate by canoe or together with ca's extern ukraine and other countries it's just like in the case of a zealot launchpad because extern wants to enter this joint stock company and operate as a live rocket complex together with the united states ukraine and russia so then it will stay there forever protons will be used until anger of five passes five flight tests its ten launches at least in the north of russia well by correct carrier rockets will be tested in the south that will take almost ten years thus all three complexes will function for at least

a decade but their operation will be financed mainly by private investors rather than the state budget. what about a coup or space center is it a good example of international space cooperation. yes of course but only as far as carrier rockets are concerned i wonder first they use takeoff from. european countries or recently announced it won't happen before all this or even september first they're going to launch two galileo spacecraft for their navigation system and they won't be manufactured before august or september but construction works the crew have been finished. today russia is an indisputable leader in space launches but also other countries are catching up to russia do to keep its positions on the market. you know we constantly come under criticism our critics say we only work as a space taxi i beg to differ i agree with you that we should do our best to keep

our superior already in this area too if we don't see leadership anywhere we're not going to be the leaders anywhere what is leadership in the number of space launches we have the most important thing is that we should have no accidents this means tough competition in carrier rockets and liquid and solid fuel engines then there is competition in control systems also not a single space launch can take place today without a booster i don't like to compare russia with other countries but i can say that china will be catching up with us in the next few years strange as it may seem it's going to be china not the us and we should be ready for this. one hand the united states need us to put their satellites into orbit but how much do we depend on here as manufactured parts for our carrier rockets let's say we have a little conflict with the united states where we'll be able to build carrier rockets on our own. we are absolutely independent russian carrier rockets

use only russian made components never and under no circumstances can we have such a situation especially with military rockets where one hundred percent of parts a russian made spacecraft is different sixty's. seventy or eighty percent of materials used for their construction are foreign made i wish it weren't so but today it's simply impossible to produce everything yourself besides russia's electronic industry literally ceased to exist in the one nine hundred ninety s. it will take a long time to restore it so as far as spacecraft are concerned we should seriously consider this issue we decided that we in the space industry should use materials and parts ourselves because we don't expect our electronics industry to recover any time soon the console market has suspended its space shuttle program and will use so you spaceships and start do you think so you spaceships alone can ensure the normal operation of the sas. yes i think so russia has been sending crews to the i s s on so you space ships for the past two years shuttles fly to the i s s to

deliver foreign astronauts or take them back to work like replacing italians with canadians or canadians with germans definitely can handle the job if we have to launch four man spaceships and five cargo craft planned. so it's apparent if thank you very much for this interview. twenty years ago the largest country in. what had been. the speak elater. where did it take.

it's wealthy british. markets. find out what's really happening to the global

exactly fifteen years and became the first man to go beyond that sadness fear. i'll be back with more news for us in fifteen minutes from now in the meantime all the latest sports highlights with natasha. hello welcome to the sports update live an hour to coming up in the town in the next time one of the founding champions and meets and that is a big move clear at the russian premier league summit despite a draw with time and spark like no chick. it's called a final simon the champions league with two fouls like much is due to take place across europe on tuesday including real madrid clash with them. and no joke no good joke of it beats well the one drop all of the all out for next week finally in miami to remain unbeaten so far this season. and let's get going

with premier league football and it's a neat st petersburg over land the third weekend of the season alone at the top that despite the pending russian champions dropped their first points of the season on sunday then they travel to start acknowledging again got off to a great start on exam because the man that seemed dani's cross the first seven minutes the pale to tighten their grip of the polo walked though and paid the price of non-secular which made it love along the alamo. but that was required tilts a blow as milling about of its picked up a second yellow called for diving and a man down the hosts so themselves trailing once again dangled so it should netting is that goal from three games so far this regular season how about this one wasn't over yet now she pulled back one minute from time thanks to a roadblock and sell off kill up for a kick. start the late so back it's a need we told the table and seven points. not a great day all round for the pre-season slavery's form

a double champions are been worrying a lot to face. justice and to go in this round and went to thinking plastic over the top ball dispatched perfectly by check out hole and more chances would follow for a beam. to no avail the first victory of the season four on three and a new captain roberto carlos. and says we're back in action after weeks break the army man's game with greatness available stoned last weekend because of bad weather and despite taking the twentieth minute maid against new boys and see the dog this time out the rested seem to do them any favors thomas metz of getting what was to prove to be the most for science solitary go rusty looking since garden fence was then called open on numerous occasions before because this finally got their equaliser. banking home on fifty two minutes one long how with were found in the capital.

burn a bell this year. in the meantime barcelona have a standard that the i think this line. beating biliary all the way one meal for a sluggish opening hour about god's will was meant by me to believe that arctic air was the winner has created several chances later in the game but of course it held onto their one little point. to the champions league football now and holders into milan and gearing up ahead of the first leg of the quarterfinals against shall kid you take place at the san siro on tuesday the long side coming off a disappointing three nil they think that city rivals in the sciri at the weekend however and so will be boosted by the return of stripe. and will also be hoping to take advantage of salvias modest domestic things and. doesn't underestimate lost he has been displayed around is up ahead of the clash though. because you have played

against strong teams like. to leave you can then villain soon gets out to the quarter finals well it's true that in the good to speak of this recent visit have been different results and. great potential as we broke up and it was. meanwhile real madrid have to put their sunday's league defeat behind their while preparing to face top how much hope is a marine who promised his first home league loss in nine years will have no we impact on his man in the upcoming game we'll see what his words against harry redknapp paying tribute to his english counterpart who has resurrected spurs since he took control in two thousand and eight for the good work he was doing you have the chance to look at both numbers have a chance to build the team you know the resources to do it's. just the players it is the team. and i'm. very very happy i just.

hope and i say from my heart. if i don't see you fredricka the final. because. moving away from football and it's said to go down to the size of game seven in the cage easton finals that after a bit it's a lot five three in game six to go well in the series at three apiece it's a lot of odds if you're going to go into just over twenty seconds to open one zero for the visiting side to his out for those three groups where the teams were lost to sewell after the first period a glib brace however profiled with the well in the driving seat midway through. the games in the if you go through some of the lifeline making it a one point gain with seven minutes to go but all it still must surely make was able to squeeze in a collage go for a five three finals pool the all important game seven is that some of outs are even walk on tuesday. over in tennis no one djokovic has continued his brilliant run in

twenty eleven boys in a second my emails to sidle to his city top ranks are up on the dull unable to stop the joe guy who built himself a twenty six much winning streak dating back to the end of last down it wasn't although that was in control of proceedings after taking the opening set six pool but while there were two job which looked in on his opponent to take the second by six games to three zero maneuvering the dollar around the key biscayne for reparenting up slugging for three and a half hours but an emotional georgevitch had been age against one of the game's most physical players four six six three seven six how it ended up a full file of the year for joe per week stands is winning streak in twenty eleven to twenty two will straight that's the best such nonsense yvonne lendl started nine hundred eighty six with twenty five straight victories. steyn states i'm where phil mickelson carved a superb informants over the weekend to take the houston open that three shot big
